One thing that I’m not satisfied with in ScrumMaster.lingo design is the overuse of strings. Strings are very helpful while designing DSLs, but they add noise to the new language.
While using a flexible language like Ruby is very unlikely that someone have to use strings so heavily while implementing DSLs. If the domain syntax is […]

The forum’s poster went on talking about […]
lingo.fm: my toy domain-specific language
Published by September 6th, 2007 in domain specific languages and ruby. 1 CommentI’ve been thrilled about the possibilities in Domain-Specific Languages for a long time.
